I was under the impression that Hawks fans were happy he was traded, so I don’t get why people would ask him why he left.

Well, offering each man a dumpster-truck full of money in salary in addition to exposure to the NY media market certainly helped the persuading.

Dude was sitting there, year after year, STEALING money from a franchise and fan base, that are desperate to win and support a ” Real ” superstar/ closer to represent the “A”.

Atlanta fans get a bad rap, by being called ” fair weather fans” . But what are they supposed to do, when they have their premier players, such as Joe Johnson, say publicly….” I don’t care what the fans think, I play for my teammates “!

OK well fine, my hard earned $400 for tickets, $30 for parking and another $100 for refreshments, for my family of 3, will be just fine staying in my POCKET.

I know, that’s only a drop in the bucket, BUT it’s my dough ! And I’d refuse to give it to an arrogant, average, over-rated, wanna-be, down syndrome having dude , like Joe !

But I digress……From what I understand, the entire city of Atlanta threw a parade when he left. So, I’m sure, nobody cared, if he asked for a trade.

I mean, that’s what every free-agent-to-be does right? Reject the contract extension then sign a new contract, whether it be with the same team or a different team.
